Lactol Milk Replacer Feeding Syringes

Beaphar Lactol Feeding Syringes are an essential tool for anyone hand-rearing newborn or orphaned animals, particularly those too small or too weak to use a standard feeding bottle. This pack of specialised syringes is designed to provide a precise and controlled way to deliver vital nutrition. These are specifically designed for oral feeding, ensuring that kittens, puppies, and even small garden wildlife like hedgehogs receive their milk safely and at a manageable pace.

Shop Floor Advice from the Team Syringe feeding requires a very gentle touch. Always keep the animal on its tummy in a natural nursing position to prevent them from inhaling the milk. Use a warm towel to keep them snug, and just squeeze a tiny bead of milk onto the tip of the syringe first. Once they taste it and start to swallow, very slowly depress the plunger. If they start to chew on the tip, it is often a sign they are full or ready to move up to a full-sized feeding bottle.

Ideal for Tiny Pets: Perfect for "drop-feeding" newborns or runts who haven't yet developed a strong enough suckling reflex for a bottle.

Precise Portion Control: Clear markings on the syringe allow for monitoring exactly how many millilitres a pet is consuming, which is crucial for tracking growth.

Two Tip Styles: The set includes both a blunt-ended syringe and a tapered-tip syringe, allowing for the best fit for different mouth shapes.

Hand-Rearing Support: Helps save the lives of underweight or orphaned animals by ensuring they get the energy they need during critical early days.

Versatile Use: Beyond milk, these syringes are useful for administering liquid medications or oral rehydration salts.
